Polyommatus icarus
Plombières.
Many thanks bayucca, for taking time in IDing this butterfly! With these I never dare to give an ID myself anymore, as they are so variable. I suggested Lycaena or Lysandra because they figure as species found in Plombières but the Polyommatus is also certainly here in Belgium so you must be right ;-)
Usually not so easy to determine from only a ventral view, but in my eyes yours is Polyommatus icarus.
